Excessive use of force by US police is highly questioned Where are freedom and human rights?

According to a report by CNN on April 9th local time, Chicago police fired 96 shots at a driver during a traffic enforcement process, resulting in his death. After the release of relevant law enforcement videos recently, it has sparked widespread public questioning of the excessive use of force by police.

It is reported that the shooting occurred on March 21st local time. A video shows that the police intercepted a driver who was not wearing a seat belt and asked him to roll down the car window. The driver followed the police's instructions but then rolled up the car window. The police attempted to open the car door but found it locked. Subsequently, the police pulled out their guns and dozens of gunshots were heard at the scene. According to other surveillance footage, at least two police officers fired at the driver from across the street.

What is the level of law enforcement in the United States when firing 96 consecutive shots to kill a person? This is the human right that the United States is talking about. Do we have to clear all the magazines to deal with a driver who hasn't fastened his seat belt?

And this situation is by no means accidental. For American police, similar situations are constantly emerging. On March 10th of this year, the police received a call from a minor claiming that a marital dispute had occurred in a private residence. After the police arrived at the scene, they heard a woman screaming inside the house. After the woman opened the door, the police saw her husband walking towards the kitchen. As the police approached with a gun in hand, the husband turned around and exposed the shotgun in his right hand. The police immediately fired eight shots and killed him, while his wife screamed in pain on the side, but it was too late.

The US police are too ruthless in their actions. If there is any danger, they should immediately shoot and kill before proceeding. A simple and ordinary family conflict unexpectedly triggered a gunfight and caused lives, and a family ended like this. I don't know how this housewife felt at that moment?

And they also don't let go of their children, equally daring to strike hard. Recently, a police officer in Akron, Alabama, USA shot and injured a 15-year-old African American boy holding a toy gun. On the day of the incident, someone reported to the police that an African American person had threatened a house with a gun. 33 year old police officer Westlake arrived at the scene and immediately shot a young man with a gun. The boy screamed in pain while raising his hands and repeatedly screaming, "This is a fake gun, I promise!" Westlake pressed it down to the ground, and the boy cried, constantly explaining that he was "a good child.

This is the current situation of Free America. The police have supreme law enforcement power, and no one can resist in front of the police at all. Otherwise, becoming a sieve may be the best outcome for you.

Public data shows that in the gun armed United States, the number of deaths due to various gun related incidents in 2023 has exceeded 35383, including over 15500 deaths from homicide and unintentional shooting, as well as 19800 deaths from gun related suicide incidents.

These constantly occurring extreme behaviors have triggered public reflection on the law enforcement practices in the United States. Should the police use such large-scale force in similar situations? Is shooting and emptying the magazine at any moment far beyond the normal level of response? Should the exercise of police law enforcement power be subject to stricter restrictions? And for the public, how should they make a decision on the balance between safety and freedom?

The public not only needs to ask, in the United States, handling issues such as not wearing seat belts and family disputes may lead to such a painful outcome. Isn't this an extreme violation of human rights? Is the United States a secure country or a chaotic place where the rule of law is out of control? Do people really enjoy so-called freedoms and human rights in the United States?
